This panel describes how Robert Owen’s family continued his legacy in America after his utopian New Harmony experiment ended. His children became influential in science, education, and social reform, helping to carry on his ideals through public service, geology, and political activism.

This exhibition panel is from the ‘Robert Owen Utopian Legacy Exhibition’, originally held at Newtown Library in May of 2025, on the life and legacy of Robert Owen (1771-1858) the philanthropic Welsh Business & Social Entrepreneur and pioneer of infant education and the co-operative movement.
